"Am I not here, I, who am your mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Are you not in the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?"

~ Our Lady of Guadalupe ~

I'm Mary Claire Scholl—artist, illustrator, and the heart behind 12th and Blossom.

Like Mary in the Magnificat, I believe our souls were made to magnify something bigger: truth, beauty, goodness—and the slow, sacred work of becoming. This site is where I share that journey, in prayer and creativity.
